I love the diesel and I love the 8 speed ZF transmission. I am in Los Angeles this week and the traffic is stop and go. So glad I have the auto.I was pretty "sold" on getting a base 4-dr with manual trans and tow-package.
The more I read, the more I love the diesel, but I hate automatic transmissions with a passion. However, I love diesel almost the same as I hate automatics.
What can folks tell me on this? How delayed is the auto that is paired with the diesel? I'm also hearing that the manual trans with the gasser isn't so great... which is concerning...
Anything else you could share?
Thanks!
